New Jersey's at the bottom.

Cleveland sunk after they traded away Drew Gooden.

I would rank Washington and Atlanta a little higher, though.


Sure, our frontcourt is weak, but we're used to it. At least it can't be any worse than it was last season.

It's fashionable to hate on NY's front court, but I've got them ahead of ours.

Does anyone on that frontcourt play any defensive at all? Do they even try?

It's fashionable to hate on them...but they're better than ours. Granted Yi could turn into Krstic pre-injury and the young guys could surprise, but until I see it I've got to say they've got us beat.

BTW who really plays defense in our front court? Sean can block, and Boone is becoming a fairly good post defender, but that's it.

Boone and Najera.

Lopez and Yi will be used for either low post offense or jumpshooting respectively (and Anderson will fill in for either one that is injuried or in foul trouble).

Sean will either be on another team or in the d-league.

That's half of our frontcourt. Najera definitely plays defense, and works his ass off.

Brook, we don't know about, because he's a rookie. But he's not too shabby at blocking people.
